opportunity

i am a very task oriented, organized person. give me a to-do list and i thrive. i like being productive. these things make me who i am. i say this because i've been unsatisfied at where i am in life and i realize that while being a stay at home mom is an incredible experience and i'm so thankful to have this chance, i need more. i have been a working person from the time i was in highschool up until last summer when i was let go from my job due to the economy. i've missed that part of my life.

so last week while i was at a shopping center i saw a store with a hiring sign. they were accepting applications for part-time work. i decided what the heck, it wouldnt hurt to at least put in my app. i have no idea what i'd do for childcare now for caitlin if i did get a job..i'd first see if anyone would even want to hire me then deal with that box next. one step at a time.

so imagine my surprise and excitement today when i did get a call back from that store. my interview is tomorrow. i'll find out what hours they want and go from there. but even if i don't get offered the job i know that putting in my application was the right thing to do and i'll keep doing so as i see work i am interested in. i just need to have a sense of purpose and an opportunity, i truely believe that is part of the peace process i intend to find this year.
